Welcome.
As a life long outdoorsman and hunter my
wife Helen and I have put together this web site to educate other hunters
and anyone else who is interested, that in spite of decades of being
bred strictly for the show ring, many Standard Poodles still retain
the hunting and retrieving instinct for which they were originally bred.

Not many hunters realize a standard
poodle can be darn good in the field to say nothing of living with
one in the house, where they belong, never living in an outside
kennel. Two huge in house advantages are coats that don't
shed and fewer problems than with most other breeds concerning
members of the household who may have allergies.

Yes, they do require regular
grooming, a major commitment, and it's cheaper to do it yourself.
